By-products or wastes from agricultural and food processing, such as tomato and berry seeds, are environmental hazardous. These by-products may contain significant levels of health components and nutrients for human health, or can be further processed into valuable functional ingredients for food applications. This presentation will discuss the chemical components and nutraceutical properties of the selected edible seeds and seed flours, the by-products from seed oil processing. The nutraceutical properties may include free radical scavenging, anti-proliferative, anti-inflamatory, and gut microbiota modulating activities. The presentation also will discuss how additional processing may produce potential value-added utilization of tomato skins and soybean coats. The results of these studies serve as a scientific basis for value-added use of the agricultural and food processing by-roducts while reducing environment hazards.
